Sleep Apnea increases risk of stroke, heart attack; nose surgery may benefit | News9
There are many surgical procedures that can be done on the soft palate like palatal implants and electrocautery which cause stiffening of the soft palate, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, LASER and collator-assisted uvuloplasty, barbed wire pharyngoplasty and palatal advancement surgery.
The tongue procedures aim at reducing the bulk of the tongue either by removal of the tongue tissue or removal of the lymphoid tissue on the tongue using LASER.
When OSA treatments are being considered, a stepwise approach should be used. Surgical correction of structures in the nose, pharynx, tonsils, and tongue will definitely benefit the patient. Tracheostomy (opening on the windpipe) should be a last-line option in severe disease or in treatment-refractory patients. Postoperative sleep studies should be performed to assess the progress.

Fermented rice can be a godsend for people with IBS in Happiest Health
Dr Anurag Shetty, gastroenterologist, KMC Hospital, Mangaluru, says that fermented food is rich in probiotics and consuming it increases the good bacteria in the intestine which helps in regulating the symptoms of IBS. However, fermentation comes at a cost. “Along with good bacteria, bad bacteria can also grow when fermentation is done in an unhygienic way,” he says.
“We ask people to take probiotics such as curd and buttermilk which does not have any side effects unless consumed when sour, leading to gastritis. But with traditional fermented rice, there is a risk of people getting an infection and food poisoning which can make their condition worse if hygiene standards are not met,” says Dr Shetty
